Don't You Be Foolish, Pray
Now Hodge met Molly the miller's maid, who long his suit denied, And, half inclined, half afraid, he did scratch his old head and cry: 'Now Molly, while I love you so, why still our hearts deny'. 'Come hang it, and to the parson go - ' 'And now don't you be foolish, pray'.
And Molly with an artful blush that shamed a rose's hue, She cried to Hodge: 'I pray you, hush!' 'And I pray you speak softly, do!' 'We will be overhead, I know'. 'The mill won't work today, and so, dear Hodge, let go of me hand!' 'And now don't you be foolish, pray!' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
And Hodge has chide'd that has stand, He says: 'Then goodbye!' 'I'm going to give young Susan me hand - ' 'Since now you do cast off high'.
'Me cast you off?' cries Molly, 'No!' 'The mill won't work today - ' 'And so, dear Hodge, to church we'll go!' 'And now don't you be foolish, pray!'
